Under the silent stars.

On the 18th day of August, 1875, in the
village of Paw Paw, in the residence then
and ever since occupied by them, there was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Rowland, n
darling daughter, who passed the few and
happy years of her short life in this COM
munity. As she grew in years and in stature,
she also increased in grace and loveliness
Apt intelligent, and bright beyond her years
she was loved by all who were acquainted
with her and, perhaps, no child of her age
was known TO greater number of cur peo-
pie. both old and young, than our darling
Nina Belle.
With her schoolmates and teachers, both
in the Sunday school and the public school,
she was always a fayorite, while to her
brother and sister, father and mother she
was more than words can express.
Too bright flower TO adorn an earthly
home. she was transplanted III life's early
spring time to a home celestial. She is at
rest at rest in the arms of Him who spoke
as never man spake, and who, eighteen hun
dred years ago said, "Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not: for OF
such is the kingdom of God
Her last appearance before any except her
relatives and her faithful attending physician
was on Tuesday evening" November 1st, at 3
social held at the residence of Brother Pal
lister, pastor of the Church of Christ. The
next morning she was taken i'll by that dread
disease, diphtheria, and in spite of all that
willing hands and loving hearts could do, she
passed from earth on Monday afternoon
November 9TH, at three o'clock.
Duty to the living rendered private burial
a matter of necessity. and, that same even
ing at about nine o'clock, her mortal remains
were carried to the beautiful Prospect Hill
cemetery where. assisted by sympathiZing
friends, under the silent stars, her body was re-
turned to earth, enclosed in casket bearing
the appropriate inscription, AT Rest" Hen
faithful pastor offered up simple, heartfelt;
prayer to the Throne of Grace, and there We
left her TO await the resurrection morn ano
returned to our stricken home with sorrow
ful hearts, knowing that some day in Gods
own good time we shall again clasp oul
darling in our loving tender embrace.
"She is not dead, but sleepeth.'

WHOLE NUMBER 1903.

The Thanksgiving exercises are to be held
at the NJ. 4. church and not at the Free Will
Baptist, as previously announced. Rev.
Harvey Of the Presbyterian pulpit is to de-
liver the address. A service of praise, led
by Elder Pallister OF the Christian church,
will be held in the evening at the same house
of worship.
At the adjourned term of our circuit court
held on Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week, two cases were heard before the court
without jury. The first was a chancery
case, Chas. L. Young VS.. the Paw Paw rail
road company ct al. Testimony was taken
In the case, but no decision rendered. The
matter in controversy grew out of the pur-
chase of a block of Paw Paw railroad COM
pany stock at about the time of the consoli-
dation of that company with the Toledo and
South Haven railroad company. The second
case was that of Chas. 4. Young vs. the
Toledo and South Haven railroad company,
a law case. The plaintiff sued for compeu-
sation claimed TO be due him for services in
an attempted negotiation of the bonds of the
company. Under an intimation from the
court, made at the close of the plaintiffs
case, that no recovery could be had under
the pleadings, the plaintiff submitted to a
non suit.
On Sunday night the union monthly tenn
perance meetings, which were discontinued
at the close of the constitutional amendment
campaign, were resumed at the Presbyterian
church, where large audience assembled
there being no other services. The services
were conducted by Rev. Z. II. Harvey, and
participated in by Rev. Messrs. Tanner and
Pallister, the sermon being preached by Rev.
Edward Bell of the Baptist church, who re-
viewed the change of temperance sentiment
during the last fifty years. showing it to be
in higher plane than ever before, bat Civ
ing no encouragement to laxity of effort in
carrying on aggressive work. BY contrast
he showed that the SS00OOO,0O0 spent for
liquor was worse than wasted, and more
costly to the country than all humane and
benevolent institutions combined, to say
nothing of more serious cost from arson,
lunacy, murder and the loss of the immortal
soul. At the close of the sermon the audi
ence voted their desire to have o mass meet
ing at the opera house some time before tho
election, which occurs December 1st, when
the advocates and opponents of local option
will have an opportunity to be heard.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

A moment of reflection brings to each of
US abundant reasons for observing day OF
Thanksgiving and Praise. Though our
fields have not brought forth their usual
bounty, yet during the year Gods hand has
stayed and kept afar pestilence and famine,
war and dissension. and hath showered upon
our state and its grateful people the blessings
of peace loyalty and contentment, and num-
berless benefits that only its individuals can
recount
IL is therefore IN humble recognition OF
Gods wonderful goodness to us and in har-
mony with the revered custom of our fathers,
that l appoint Thursday, November oath,
1884, as a day OF Public Thanksgiving and
praise.
I'm the sunshine of His providence may
our hearts be lifted to Him in earnest thank
fulness. that when bowed down with the
Affections that come to all we may in conf
dence approach Him for help.
And that we may give testimony of our
appreciation of His kindly dealings with Us,
let our praises and thank offerings on that
day be borne to him on the wings of sacrifice.
Let those who enjoy the reunion of fami-
lies and friends remember the widow, the
orphan and the lone ones.
Let those who are the recipients of COM
fort. cheer and social enjoyment be mindful
o. the poor in deeds of charity; and
Let those who labor and toll for hire be
given, by their employers, a day about their
own hearthstones for thanksgiving and
respite without the loss of daily bread to
their families.
Seeds of kindness thus scattered and bur-
dens so lightened will be but bread upon the
waters and will make the fiftieth Thanks
giving Day anniversary of our state but
worthy of her law-abiding generous and
Christian people.

action taken by the assembly with regard TO this

Some OF the members OF the local assembly state
that they propose to appeal from this action to the

chairman.
Members Of the district assembly state that
